System and Method for Providing a Pluggable Architecture for State Management in a Telecommunication Service Access Gateway - A network service access gateway is described that provides a pluggable state management architecture for storing state information. The gateway typically processes requests between entities such as external applications and subscriber mobile devices. In processing data, the gateway can implement multiple storage providers which are selected according to the data access requirements of the specific request. Each storage provider can implement a different caching or data management technique in order to provide access to the required information. Examples of the storage providers include in-memory only caches, write-through disk based storage provider, write-behind disk based storage provider and non-cached disk-based storage provider. The particular storage provider can be selected based on a configuration file and according to the traffic path associated with the request.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING ASPECTS TO GENERATE EVENT DATA RECORDS - Methods and systems are described for generating event data records by using aspects. Cross cutting concerns are applied in order to generate the EDRs. In various embodiments, the EDRs are generated within a gateway or another type of software application that processes various communications. In processing data, the gateway can generate data records, which capture information regarding traffic flow within the gateway. The event data records are generated at various points in the gateway by using an aspect to weave code at compile time. Once generated, the EDRs can be picked up by an external listener and filtered based on various criteria, such as Java type-based filtering and classification. The listener can use predefined filtering coming from the gateway or customize the filtering according to specific needs. The EDRs can also be classified by using a configuration file, which can be modified without altering any programming code within the gateway.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING A PRODUCTION UPGRADE OF COMPONENTS WITHIN A MULTIPROTOCOL GATEWAY - A production upgrade is described for a multiprotocol gateway. This upgrade allows various modules and components within the gateway to be upgraded independently without impacting traffic flow in the gateway. The upgrade can be performed by deploying a new version of the module alongside an older version of the same module. New client requests can then be directed to the new version, while requests requiring the older module can be continued to be serviced by the prior version. A distinction is made between stateless and stateful conversation during the upgrade of various components. For stateful conversations, request traffic can be versioned according to the session to which each request belongs. A highly available state storage scheme allows new versions of the module to consume state information used by the older versions. For stateless conversations, all new requests can be immediately routed to the new version of the module.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING A SPLIT DEPLOYMENT MODEL FOR A TELECOMMUNICATION SERVICE ACCESS GATEWAY - A split deployment model is enabled for a telecommunication service access gateway. The services of the gateway are segregated into a set of core services that provide container-based functionality and a set of exposure services that enable network integration and translation of protocols. The core services are executed as part of the application server, while the exposure services are deployed in separate archive files. This isolation of services allows single or groups of services to be independently upgraded, patched or removed and reduces the impact of one service on others. Furthermore, the services can scale independently, allowing additional hardware resources to be added to a particular service. Multiple versions of a single service can also be deployed in a single cluster or server.

APPLICATION SERVER WITH A PROTOCOL-NEUTRAL PROGRAMMING MODEL FOR DEVELOPING TELECOMMUNICATIONS-BASED APPLICATIONS - An application server is described for development of telecommunications-based software applications. The application server provides a protocol-neutral programming model for application developers. Rather than having to account for specific protocol entry points into the server, all interactions in the server are abstracted as asynchronous events through the event broker layer. State management and concurrency are implemented as an actor-based model, where each actor owns its own segment of state and other actors wishing to update that state send asynchronous events to the owner. Thus, any communication in the various protocols can be expressed as an asynchronous event passed to, from and between the actors, who are each responsible for maintaining their own segment of state locally. This architecture allows multiple protocols to be consumed in one process, allow applications sessions to span multiple environments and protocols, and allows the programming model to be decoupled from any particular protocol entry point.
